The Fight Against Unjust Evictions in San Francisco
A person who inherited a house in San Francisco with tenants in the basement is wondering if they can evict them. The tenants have been renting below market rates and there is no lease. The new owner can ask the tenants to leave, but if they refuse, the eviction process can be difficult due to strong tenant protections in San Francisco. The owner can also consider selling the property with the tenants or raising the rent to market rate to possibly push them out. It is recommended to consult with a lawyer and the San Francisco Rent Board for legal advice.
